2022 Headliners

[jparx]

We’re currently at a resort in Greece, and there’s a Greek Beatles tribute band. It’s literally the first concert of any kind I’ve been to since the pandemic and yeah, Macca for 2022 pls and thx

2017 Sunday was a bit grim. I thought Ed vs BBK was a bit weird. I was going to go to Justice but it wasn’t really what I fancied at the time. I think I saw metronomy in the JP instead.

Late night DJ options were pretty shit that night too. Think we just sat somewhere and got waved.

Yeh this Sunday wasn't great, we ended up watching 5 songs of Ed then moved over to justice who were great. Moved onto hacktivist in shangri la which was really fun

Simz on Holts…

This is now the dream. 

All chips firmly down on Simz.

I'm kinda with you on that. Billie does nowt for me and I've never really been into QOTSA. But as nikkic points out I'll just be at another stage! Still got my hopes pinned on the original plan of the Manics playing Friday night

QOTSA vs Manics.. hope manics are on a different night. First potential clash for me.

I need this to happen. And for it to be a clash with Billie and not someone else I really wanna see. Not too much to ask surely?

Was it definitely the Friday Manics were down for? I know it was The Park, which would be absolute perfection.

Really not bothered by a Billie/QOTS Friday night. Hope that’s wrong.

Is the rumour QOTSA subbing Billie on The Pyramid... or QOTSA headlining Other, please?

Thank you. Let the fear of a QOTSA/Manics clash commence....

[kalifire]

Not bothered about Billie or QOTSA myself. Have my fingers crossed for Little Simz on West Holts for the Friday.

I'd argue 2017 Saturday was even worse than Sunday in terms of options being thin on the ground.

Saw the Foos that night, but it was very much by default.

[Quark]

I appear to remain in the efests (at least vocal) minority of having thoroughly enjoyed the Foos.

Enjoyed bits of it, but Sprinty Dave’s patter, and the endless dicking around at the end of every song, got annoying quickly.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Saturday 2017 and Sunday 2013 both stand out to me as nights where I just wandered about a bit aimlessly. In both instances I should have just headed for a decent DJ somewhere.

I loved it, one of my favourite Pyramid shows. The banter and cheese is part of the entertainment. The crowd were as much a part of that show as the band

I ended up outside the Crow's Nest for King Gizz

Ah the joy of hindsight!

I honestly think that's the headliner fallacy, the idea that come that final slot you "should" be at one of the main stages having the time of your life. Every year I try not to fall for it, and every year I do the same bloody thing 😄

We did exactly that. Goldies Rave set at Arcadia was quality in 2017

I always naturally default to the Pyramid if there's nothing on I fancy.

We did too, absolutely rammed in there. That was about 11:30 from memory after the stages had closed down.

Saw the first few songs from the Foos and couldn't stomach the hubris and the  banter. Wandered off the long way via West Holts up to the Crows nest.

Yeah, ditto. The crowd were extremely in the mood for Dave's arsing around and enabled that extra layer of flab, moreso maybe than he usually could have got away with. A real case of crowd and headliner on the same wavelength.

Could have done with an extra Breakout or Generator, but hey, it's fine. Extremely fun show.

Think this is what frustrated me, they could have played Stacked Actors, Breakout, The One and Hey Johnny Park in the time they spent arsing around.

[Hugh Jass]

According to Setlist FM the fucking thing over ran by 19 minutes!!!

Didn't realise it was a thing. Thought they were brilliant and absolutely loved it. I completely lost our group of 8 between Other Stage and Pyramid...ended up following the wrong group of people, rather intoxicated obviously, and with zero phone battery. Soon snapped out of that when they stopped and I realised it wasn't my mates. Watched the whole gig chatting to folk around me (including the group who had the dreaded "Monday is Coming" flag).

Anyway. Great show!
